citronella
Bug-repelling plant oil
Citronella is a fragrant oil derived from certain grasses, widely used as an insect repellent.
Citronella candles and torches are summer staples for keeping mosquitoes away from outdoor gatherings: We lit citronella candles on the patio.
The plant itself, a tropical grass with lemony scent, is also called citronella.
